If I ran a game store I would play the song Goonies (Never Say Die) by Mikey Mason.
Outside of the music that Cyndi Lauper made for The Goonies soundtrack there isn't a lot of music about The Goonies movie. Mikey Mason pretty much has the category to himself with his song Goonies (Never Say Die). Good thing it's a quality song worth playing in game stores. Goonies (Never Say Die) is a nerd rock song that is sung from the perspective of one of the Goonies, with not enough detail to narrow it down to which one. Mason purposely kept the kid's identity fuzzy because the song is really about the concerns and insecurities of all kids as they age into adulthood. When a problem gets overwhelming it's time for a Goonie tackle it with their valiant, "never say die" attitude.
Goonies (Never Say Die) is from Mikey Mason's 2012 album, Barbarian Jetpack.

Goonies (Never Say Die) lyrics
It must be Thursday
I never got the hang of Thursdays
'Cause there's just too many Mondays in my life
And it's been one long left turn for the last three-hundred miles
It seems everything I need was on the right
And I feel like giving in
But my mind keeps wandering back
To that night Brand talked his girlfriend down the well
Yeah, me and One-Eyed Willie have been talking this thing out
We been pondering life's mysteries, what is it all about?
When the world teams up against us
We look it in the eye
Then dive in headfirst, screaming "Hey, you guys"
Goonies never say die
Guess I just feel jaded
Defeated and frustrated
Keep wishing maybe somehow I could change my face
Feel like a sheep inside wolf's clothing
I'm so filled with fear and loathing
And I worry that I'll never find my place
And I'm held hostage by these hotels
I could go out but there's no telling
What waits for me out there
Except I'm sure that it isn't you
Yeah, me and One-Eyed Willie have been talking this thing out
We been pondering life's mysteries, what is it all about?
When the world teams up against us
We look it in the eye
Then dive in headfirst, screaming "Hey, you guys"
Goonies never say die
'Cause our lives take different courses
We get married, get divorces
Our regrets and our remorses
Wear us down until we die
So just keep moving forward, onward, up excelsior because
Persistence is the one resource we have that won't run dry
Yeah, me and One-Eyed Willie have been talking this thing out
We been pondering life's mysteries, what is it all about?
When the world teams up against us
We look it in the eye
And dive in headfirst, screaming "Hey, you guys"
Goonies never say die
Goonies never say die
Goonies never say die
Goonies never say die
